<p>Panoglview is intended to view full 180x360 (equirectangular) panoramas projected onto a globe which can be spun around using the mouse.
</p><p>For viewing a partial panorama, you use project files.  There are no examples in the distribution, but they can be created by opening an equirectangular image and saving a .paf 'project'.
</p><p>These are simple text files and fairly self-explanatory, but the interesting thing is that these .paf files contain stuff like camera field-of-view, pan, tilt, boundaries and now partial panorama settings.

<h2><a name="as_a_replacement_for_PTEditor"><span class="mw-headline">as a replacement for PTEditor</span></a></h2>
<p>PTEditor<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/PTEditor">[*]</a> is an older unsupported tool for viewing a panorama, extracting undistorted views for external editing and reinserting those edited views. The <b>panoglview</b> .paf saving feature can be used to imitate this functionality in conjunction with the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Panotools-Script/bin/pafextract">pafextract</a> tool.
</p><p>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36383814@N00/2845671569/">pafextract workflow</a> goes something like this:
</p>
<ol><li>open a panorama in <b>panoglview</b></li>
<li>find a viewpoint to edit, save a .paf viewpoint</li>
<li>extract a bitmap image of this view with pafextract</li>
<li>edit it with the GIMP<a class="external" href="https://wiki.panotools.org/GIMP">[*]</a> or another image editor, save</li>
<li>remap this using the .pto project created by pafextract</li>
<li>merge with the panorama</li></ol>
